(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ashley Bryan. The first page of each double-page spread poses an intriguing African riddle-poem ("I have a house / that has no door"), while the facing page offers many possible answers in Bryan's exuberant sun-bright illustrations, which evoke the African landscape and its inhabitants. Children and adults will delight in solving the riddles. Source notes and answers provided.

(4) K-3 Rendon's illustrations--which cleverly convey both riddle and answer--are the strength of this collection of fourteen riddles in poem form. Unlike Bierhorst's 'Lightning Inside You: And Other Native American Riddles', this volume lacks sufficient information necessary to understand the meaning of the poems and their significance to Native people. An answer key lists the tribes of origin, and sources are included.
